This is a great starting place to build your own alarm clock
For BLough Alarm Clock - Shield for Wemos D1 Mini
Brian was great at pre-sale communication. He answered all my questions promptly and was very thorough.
I really like the clock. I used it as the basis for creating an alarm clock for my wife for Christmas.
There are a few things that you should be aware of though. First, the documentation is not as complete as it could be. I had to figure out a few things on the hardware assembly (like the instructions are color coded to the sharpie marks on the component packages).
Documentation on the software side is also a bit lacking (where to get libraries, etc.). Also, the software, as provided, doesn't work. There are bugs in the alarm code, and other places that I had to fix. That wasn't a big deal for me because I was planning to write my own software anyway. I just used Brian's code as a template / starting point.
From a hardware design perspective, it would be nice if you could lower the intensity of the LED display a bit more. Maybe use a PWM pin for additional brightness control beyond what is provided by the display controller. Volume control on the speaker would be nice as well.
I also ended up designing a 3D printed case for the clock. It would be nice if one were provided. I'll post mine on thingiverse for those who are interested.
